I am very used to working with virtual desktops in conventional WMs, and its an important part of my workflow. I was wondering if I can do the same thing in Xmonad? What I want is to be able to specify a number of such virtual desktops (or virtual monitors if you like), and then easily switch between them using some keybinding (preferably one I can mod myself).
mod-1 through mod-9 in standard Xmonad. Add shift to move the focused window to the specified workspace instead. You can also use ManageHooks to programmatically assign workspaces to windows; see http://xmonad.org/xmonad-docs/xmonad-contrib/XMonad-Doc-Extending.html. Also see http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Image:Xmbindings.png which is still correct for current Xmonad versions. -- brandon s allbery allbery.b@gmail.com wandering unix systems administrator (available) (412) 475-9364 vm/sms
